🛒 Ingredients:

Tuna Cakes

• 3 cans tuna in water, drained (~360g)

• 2 eggs

• 1 ½ tbsp Greek yogurt

• ⅓ cup oat flour

• ¼ cup onion, finely chopped

• 2 tbsp parsley (or dried herbs)

🔥 Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix all tuna cake ingredients until well combined. Shape into 6 patties. Drain any excess liquid before cooking.
2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. (Tip: make sure the pan is hot enough to prevent sticking).
3. Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
4. Serve patties warm, topped with fresh parsley. Enjoy with sauce on the side or drizzled over.

✅ Why This Works:

This works because the tuna and eggs provide a high-protein, filling base, while oat flour adds complex carbs and olive oil healthy fats. The herbs, spices, and Dijon mustard boost flavor, and the sweet-chilli yogurt sauce adds a tangy, spicy kick. Quick to make and packed with balanced nutrition, it’s perfect for a satisfying lunch, dinner, or meal prep.
